Considering the comment "worst loss in American history" I wonder the reporter not hearing well assumed the loss was in Iraq, since for some journalists it was the only war. I wonder because the woman commenting on an event from a book, it may have been "Lone Survivor" she'd read. I know the number is incorrect but close, the remark is very close to the statement in the book.

The book is indeed hard to put down.

Thank you all you Quiet Professionals, past and present, for what you do for our nation. I will NEVER forget.

Yep.

Will never forget the morning of 9-12, in the conference room of my Morgan Stanley branch office, and our Manager, who was sockless, and wrinkled, annoucing the count of folks who were not known to be dead or alive.

Since we were the largest tenant in the WTC, it was the worst news possible.

Later we learned that thanks to Rick, only six people out of three-thousand MS employees died.

He made sure everyone got out, and perished trying to save those trapped.

Will never forget.......
